{t}: Add {w} or {u} to your mana pool.
Kuri is the Maori language name for the Polynesian dog. It was introduced to New Zealand by Maori during their migrations from East Polynesia sometime around 1280 AD. It was used by Maori as a food source. In addition, they used the skins and fur to make dog-skin cloaks (Kahu kuri), belts, decorating weapons, and poi.
